Increasing resilience can help clients manage stress more effectively, perform better at work, have more fulfilling relationships, and be better placed to not only recover from challenging life events but grow as a result. Everyone encounters challenges in their lives. Yet, the outcomes can be vastly different for people - even in response to the same event. Why are some of us crushed by adverse life events and others recover, or even flourish, after difficult times? The difference in response can be partially due to external factors which are, of course, less likely to be under a person’s control. External factors are, however, not the entire story. Internal factors play a major role in a person’s response to adverse life events, and this is where we can help clients.
This training session looks at the key intra-personal processes that underpin resilience: attention, thought processes, coping styles and control, and motivation. In a step-by-step approach, this session will explain these core processes and provide techniques relating to each process that will help clients train resilience skills. The session will include: (1) a brief overview of the concept of resilience; (2) insights into the core processes underlying resilience; (3) techniques that will help clients shift away from an unhelpful stance to a more resilient stance; and (4) a resource kit with 12 exercises that can be used in session with a client or as homework assignments.
